The 71st DRJ conference, DRJ Fall 2024, held Sept. 8-11 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Dallas, was a tremendous success. This year marked DRJ’s first time in Dallas, and the enthusiasm from attendees, sponsors, and speakers made it an unforgettable experience.

“DRJ Fall 2024 was an incredible success on many levels,” said Bob Arnold, president of Disaster Recovery Journal. “We were excited to bring the event to Dallas, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. From the educational sessions to the engaging discussions, it’s clear the community is committed to learning, growing, and adapting.”

A First in Dallas

Bringing the conference to Dallas for the first time was a milestone, and the Gaylord Texan Resort provided the perfect setting for four days filled with learning, networking, and growth. Attendees participated in thought-provoking sessions, hands-on workshops, and invaluable opportunities to connect with peers, leaving them with new strategies and insights to take back to their organizations.
